| Description | Center-left party established by former members of the Hungarian Socialist Party (MSZP) bitter over its hardline views at the time. Party began as a platform in May 2011, registering itself as a party in October 2011, with entrepreneur and former Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsány as its leader. Gyurcsány's efforts to transform the party into one centrist to center-left met resistance for some time until efforts began to bear fruit by the rise in number of DK elected representatives. DK then became the largest opposition party after elections held on April 3, 2022, with 15 seats in the 199-seat National Assembly, supplanting Jobbik and even its parent, the MSZP [Demokratikus Koalíció (DK)]. |
